Real Madrid become first team to win back-to-back Champions League finals

Zinedine Zidane has become the first coach since Arrigo Sacchi in 1990 to win the competition in successive years, as his side thumped Juventus 4-1

Real Madrid made history Saturday as they became the first team to win back-to-back European Cups since the Champions League era began in 1992-93.

Zinedine Zidane's side proved too powerful for Juventus, with Cristiano Ronaldo scoring twice and Casemiro adding another as they dispatched the Italian champions 4-1.

Mario Mandzukic might have scored the goal of the match to draw Juve level before the break, but they were largely second best throughout at the Millennium Stadium and finished with 10 men as Juan Cuadrado was dismissed in the closing stages for clashing with Sergio Ramos.
